    Great experience. Team was always available to answer my questions or concerns. Enjoyed my stay in Crete and last minute I asked them to extend my day at the Hotel and change air tickets. All was done within 2 hours and they paid to secure booking before collecting payment from me. Will be back next year but Dot Travel will be top of my list. Thank you Team,your wonderful support made my tour memorable. Lots of Love Mark

    This was an ideal itinerary for me and George from the agency provided timely and superior communication and service during my planning. He responded to my requests and accommodated my every need. Unfortunately my plans changed last minute but will be using this agency and contacting George when I visit Greece again in the near future.

    A really great trip. The pre booked taxis and internal flights alleviated a lot of stress and the hotels were very nice and in great locations.
